Jack Valenti, Dead at 85
saforrest writes "Jack Valenti, a man whose influence in both Washington and Hollywood was profound, died today at age 85. He first became famous as special assistant to Lyndon Johnson: he can even be seen in the famous photo aboard Air Force One. In 1966, he quit this job to become president of the MPAA, from 1966 to 2004."
Ok Slashdot, I'll tell you my first incest experience. It was about 2 years ago; I was 18 and my sister was 16 (and a half). We had a cousin staying at our house for the summer and she was either 16 or 17. Got along great with the cousin, but not so great with the sister. She felt she should have the run of the house since I was about to move out to college and I thought she was a bitch. This caused conflict.
Anyway, the parents were at work, I was chilling in my room, and the two girls were sunbathing/swimming outside. I had nothing for my sister at this point, but my cousin was a different matter. From an objective standpoint, she's good looking. She's the big athlete in the family so the body is pretty good as well. here is a photo, face hidden of course.
Here's where things get crazy. I'm building up jack material on my cousin, but I can't stop looking at my sister. Cousin is hot, but my sister has a RACK. Her boobs look like they wanna bust out of the bikini. So I start storing images of her as well. It feels a little sick at first, but that just makes things more exciting.
I want a closer look, so I go outside to the pool and say that I'm going to bust into the booze cabinet and to come inside if they want any. They think it's a great idea and follow me in. They get wasted pretty fast, but I only have a couple drinks. It gets to the point where they're basically passed out on the floor, wearing skimpy bikinis, and I'm sitting there with a raging hard on. So I make the decision.
I run to the basement to grab a camcorder and set it up in the den where we are. Just then, my grandpa busts through the door, tears off my pants, and fucks me in the ass. He's wearing a cowboy hat. Once he unloads, he runs back out of the house and yells, "I have the weirding way!"
BZZZT, wrong.
You don't get court provided attorneys for civil matters, which is what a lawsuit is.
I can't believe you're the only one (at this point) to make this joke. I opened the page specifically to count the number of "Truly andAmerican icon"s. I'm disappointed in the Slashdot community.
Put identity in the browser.
Give me a fucking break. Are you fucking kidding me? It takes a lot of nuts to say something that retarded. It's like some scumbag politician standing in front of a group of his fellow Christians and saying "I don't care what anybody says, I love children! Oh, and God! I don't hare if the enormous God and children hating contingent of this group hates me for it, I've said it!".
Retard.
Whoever rated this a 0 might want to go look up the entry on Valenti in Wikipedia. Specifically for his comment on the Beta VCR.

Yes, you do. You go to court, tell the judge "I can't afford an attorney", and one is appointed for you. You can even have one appointed when you FILE a case, let alone have to defend against one.
(Note that this is as it works in NY. Your redneck state might be different -- but unless they've passed a law against it, you can always go to a judge and plead for a civil implementation of Miranda.)
Many of his posts are rated 0 or -1... he probably trashed his karma.
That's interesting, but what does it mean to "respect life", and are we not doing so sufficiently in this case? If we don't respect the person, and believe that the world is better off with him dead, are we somehow not respecting life by saying so?
In any case, most people's respect for life is limited. We all eat plants, most of us eat animals, and most of us support, either actively or passively, the semi-organized killing of people in wars. So life is clearly not entirely sacrosanct, to most of us.
I've demonstrated my respect for Jack Valenti's life in the fact that I didn't personally kill him, but that's really as far as it goes. Beyond that basic courtesy, everything else needs to be earned, if you're a thinking being with some degree of what we think of as free will.
Sure, you are +5 Insightful, but in Russia the Communist member Michael Zapolev will no longer be able to get the floor as a speaker for his suggestion to drive a wooden stake into Yeltsin's chest.
You can't handle the truth.
